SEARED BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH WALNUT GREMOLATA
The French serve seared endive as a side, but I've been enjoying this dish as the main event for lunch, with a nice slice of blue cheese or Roquefort accompanying it on the plate.

Steps:
- To make the gremolata, mix together walnuts, parsley, lemon zest, fleur de sel and garlic, if using. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium heat. Place endive halves in the skillet, cut side down. They should not be touching one another. Season with kosher salt and pepper and cover pan loosely. Cook until golden brown on the cut side, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a platter or to individual plates, cut side up.
- Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of gremolata over each endive half. Drizzle with walnut oil and serve warm.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD
This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest Belgian endives: Look for endives that are firm and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the endives properly: Cut off the root end of the endives and remove any wilted outer leaves. Then, slice the endives into thin strips or wedges.
- Use a variety of toppings: The toppings in this salad are endless. Some popular options include walnuts, blue cheese, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and croutons. You can also add a variety of fruits, such as apples, pears, or grapes.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a great option. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as honey, herbs, or spices.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The endives will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

With its slightly bitter flavor and crunchy texture, Belgian endive is a great addition to any salad. The walnuts add a nutty flavor and the blue cheese adds a creamy richness.
